If you asked me if I would ever be interested in network marketing a year ago, I would’ve asked you if you were crazy. I have always lived my life on the sidelines. If you looked up the word “overthinker” in the dictionary, you would’ve found my picture. Since I was a kid, I have spent a lot of my time observing and weighing out the pros and cons of everything - literally everything. For example- to this day, I still do not own a jean jacket because I’m still thinking about if it is something I could pull off. I often would overthink the details for so long that I would end up missing the opportunity and then would spend that time thinking about what I missed. If you live that kind of life, you know that it is not fun. After my son was born 3 years ago, my mindset slowly began to change. Becoming a mother was the catalyst that led me to where I am today.

Let’s back up a little so you understand how it all began. A little bit about me - I am originally from New York. After college, I followed my parents down to North Carolina and fell in love with the environment and the slower lifestyle. Shortly after, I met and married the love of my life and landed my first teaching job as a third grade teacher. As you know, teachers don’t choose that career for the money. (The only way to make more money in teaching is to get tiny raises every few years or to become an administrator, which there are limited spots. You need to move someone out of their position to take it over. Not for me.) We get into teaching because of our love of helping others and having a positive impact in others’ lives. While that was my “why” that motivated me to get up and go to work everyday, the long hours and minimal income was making me second guess my career choice. After having my son, I realized that the time and stress that I was putting into my full time job was just not worth it. I was up early, transporting my son to daycare, driving to work, working after hours with no extra pay, rushing to pick up my son, unpacking our things, repacking our things, making dinner, rushing play time, bath time, bed time. (That gives me anxiety and stress, just typing it out.) I was wasting my time with my son for a life I wasn’t happy with. I couldn’t do it anymore. It was a really difficult moment when I realized and had to accept that I may have to steer away from the thing I was most passionate about.

Fast forward to January 2020. I decided to reach out to a friend who had transferred to a virtual school. She had a son that was my son’s age and she told me that this virtual environment was the perfect opportunity for this stage of life. She had more time with her son, more flexibility with her day, and less stress. It sounded like a dream! Of course my mind didn’t let it sound all that great though - my mind was convincing me of all the reasons it wouldn’t work out. Long story short, I decided to apply for the next school year (still playing it safe).. After the interview, the principal called me to let me know that a position had opened up right now and she wanted me to take it. RIGHT NOW. I immediately panicked. Right now meant that I didn’t have time to think or prepare. For some reason, I just knew I had to do it.. And I did. Two weeks after I started my new job (in the middle of a school year.. what!?) the world shut down because of Covid and I was already working from home and was able to have my son safely at home with me.

Now why is this important and what does it have to do with anything?

It literally was a blessing and a wake up call from God. I knew that I had made the right decision for myself and for my family and it truly opened my eyes to something I had never felt before. I realized that sometimes you just have to do things scared. You need to get out of your comfort zone and take risks. Nothing changes if nothing changes. This epiphany then transferred to other departments of my life.

During this time period, I had switched to a vegan, naturally based hair care system after learning about the toxic ingredients in my past products while pregnant with my son. I was purchasing my system from an old friend who had shown true success with this global beauty company she was a part of. I became interested in what she was doing but, following the same theme of my life, I watched from the sidelines and convinced myself that there were plenty of reasons why I couldn’t do it. Well - after switching teaching jobs and having my epiphany, I decided to finally do that scared too! Best. Decision. Ever.

I now continue to virtually teach from home and work my beauty business from the comfort of my phone - whenever, wherever. I have not only bettered my life by bringing in a second stream of income to secure a future for my family, but I have completely changed and grown as a person. Being part of a team of men and women who support me and push me to do better everyday has given me the confidence to support and mentor my own team of successful, hard working women.

My passion is and always has been helping others. I truly enjoy and strive to be a part of others’ positive experiences. I have found an opportunity that allows me to share my passion, work on my own terms, and work towards financial freedom for my family. I get to level up WITH my team and not compete against them. Best of all, I get to show my son that his mother was able to conquer her fears and grow into the person she knew she could be.

If you are wondering how this opportunity could fit in your life, I am an open book. If you have been overthinking this business, convincing yourself that you aren’t good at social media, you don’t have enough followers/friends, you don’t know anything about “sales”. Perfect. You are talking to the right girl and joining the right team. I am here to teach you everything I know and give you all the tools to be successful. You will never be alone. Let’s chat!
